JACKSON – Superintendent Nicole Pormilli spoke about the development of this year’s spending plan during a recent Board of Education meeting.
She said the school district has received grant money that will help it get through a $4.1 million state aid cut. “We are being wise about what we do so that we again don’t have to look at drastic cuts in staffing next year.
“You will hear more about that during the budget process. We will provide multiple opportunities to have public input and to have questions about the budget both before the tentative budget is created and before the public hearing,” Pormilli said.
In February draft budgets will be presented and more details will be provided about how the grant funds will be used.
A tentative budget will be presented in March and the public hearing on it will be held during the Board’s April 27 meeting.
